In the foreground a man in a white dhoti with a gold-and-white shawl and a long rudraksha mala sits with palms joined; a girl in orange with beaded jewellery and a rudraksha mala claps in front. Young boys in saffron-orange cloth sit cross-legged on bamboo mats, some with white forehead markings. Several adults wear white ritual clothes with a shawl.
